Among the different types of PAEK, PEEK is the fastest-growing segment of the market in 2018 and is likely to witness significant growth over the forecast period. The growth in this segment is attributed to its increasing use in various application such as oil and gas, electrical and electronics, aerospace, medical and automotive as it provides many characteristics to the manufacturing parts which include lightweight, strength or toughness and able to survive longer in harsh environments.  These factors are expected to drive demand during the forecast period.

Among the different types of fillers, glass filled PAEK is the fastest-growing segment of the market in 2018 and is likely to witness significant growth over the forecast period. The increase in this segment is attributed to its increasing use in oil and gas industry and aerospace industry as it is suitable for use in parts which are exposed to high static loads over long periods in high-temperature conditions. It also provides extreme mechanical strength and stiffness combined with excellent dimensional stability. These factors are expected to drive demand during the forecast period.

Based on the application, oil and gas application is growing rapidly due to the growing demand for PAEK materials use in anti-wear tape, back-up ring, pipe & liner, seal, subsea connector, compressor, valve and others owing to to its excellent creep resistance, wear and chemical resistance under high pressure, high temperature conditions. These characteristics of PAEK increases the consistency of the oilfield equipment and thus extends the life of the equipment in the challenging oilfield environment. These factors are expected to drive the demand for PAEK  in oil and gas application.
